Scoliosis and Back Pain Specialist UK

Scoliosis : The human body comes with a lot of problems and issues that no one can predict or think of. Genes, puberty, growth, chemical reactions inside and a lot more stuff that goes on with the body brings a lot of surprising things to a person. However, sometimes all these things may not go in the favour of a person and they might end up getting things that they didn’t ask for.

Dwarfism, gigantism, hairy body, bald patches, mood swings, etc. can be issues that a person may have to go through, however, in more serious cases the body may also have to suffer from a condition or deformity that may further negatively affect the human body. One such condition that comes just around puberty is Scoliosis.

What is Scoliosis?

In Scoliosis the spine of a person has a curve instead of being straight. These curves in the spine can be very deviating or slightly off and worsen with age. Mild scoliosis may not bother the person much but in the case of a severe one the pain might be unbearable and the condition may also cause other problems like difficulty in walking and breathing.

How to detect if you have Scoliosis?

• One common way to detect Scoliosis is reading the pain. Back, should, or rib area pains are the most common symptoms.
• Severe cases might cause a person to suffer from heart landing problems where the person may have difficulty in breathing as well.
• The curve in the spine puts pressure on internal organs like the stomach and intestines and pain in these organs might be a hint of the onset of the problem.
• The body movement might get restricted and pain may become common when performing any task related to walking and exercising.

 

Scoliosis can be mild or severe and deciding on the route of treatment needs to be decided. In some cases, Scoliosis might be progressing with age and that is a different issue altogether. If the case gets worse than surgery is recommended. However, surgery can be avoided by doing physiotherapy and bracing that focuses on the affected area. 

Scoliosis Treatment for Child:

For kids, the route of treatment is different from what it is for adults. A kid is observed firstly and if they show some kind of curvature in the spine then they are suggested to get a guarding to wear that supports the back and reduces the pain.

In adults, how it is treated:

For adults, the first step is to begin medication for reducing the pain of the person. If the posture is visibly affected then the person is suggested to get a cast that supports the back and the rib area and reduces pain. The last stage for adults is to go ahead with surgery to fix the issue and get permanent relief.
